episode 04

comments

time: 23:20 minutes

First appearance of Dai-X and its three component ships - Braincom, Mainbody and Legtrack. Orion states early in the episode that they defeated X-Bomber in their last encounter, and X-Bomber is now too badly crippled to be of any threat to them - it seems that blast from X-Impulse in the last episode affected his memory a bit!

X-Bomber has a very impressive new shield! Why don't they try to use it when being attacked on Jupiter? Come to think of it, the shield never appears again throughout the whole series!

The Alliance don't need to lure X-Bomber to Jupiter - Dr Benn takes the ship there anyway. Though, shouldn't he have informed General Kyle first and waited for orders?

Daz's review    who?

The F-Zero-One storyline takes a break this week to make way for some non stop action. Without a doubt, one of THE classic episodes. One of my fave scenes in the whole series is in this episode (not an action one though) - it's the scene where X-Bomber flies past Mars and enters the Asteroid Belt with the transport cruisers - I just love the music here...

rating: ***** (out of 5)
